[Monetdb-developers] GDKupgradevarheap allocate/copy inconsistency

Dear MonetDB developers,

please see the newly created tracker item [1].

I haven't seen relevant design documentation which would have allowed me to deduce if BATs from VIEWcreate_ are actually supposed to end up in GDKupgradevarheap, as it happened to me. Still, I could imagine the suggested fix to be a step in the right direction as it helps modularity by making the function working with less preassumptions on the inputs. However, if it fits into the global design, the capacity argument can (should?) be removed from the function signature.

Best regards,

Isidor Zeuner
